| Philip Rivers overcame some shaky moments to lead San Diego to a win. |
It was over when ...
The Chargers ran a perfectly executed blitz on fourth down and forced JaMarcus Russell into throwing an incomplete pass with just over a minute to go. San Diego took over on downs and LaDainian Tomlinson put the finishing touches on the victory with a 41-yard touchdown run.
Game ball
After a slow start, Tomlinson got going late and did what he usually does in Oakland -- dominated. He finished with 106 yards on the ground and two touchdowns, while seemingly breaking the will of the Raiders defense.
Key stat
San Diego scored 25 points in the fourth quarter after tallying just three in the first three quarters.
Noteworthy
Russell threw his first interception of the season in the fourth quarter. He followed that pick with a fumble three players later. ... Chargers place-kicker Nate Kaeding missed his first two field goals of the season. ... Raiders TE Zach Miller had a career-high 63-yard touchdown catch.
